Question

Some pages are taking a long time to load. I assume its from all the PHP – using a lot of fopen and fget statements. What can I do to make these pages load more quickly?

Answer 1

1. Use Xdebug to profile your code and refactor it.
2. Use a PHP accelerator to cache bytecode, like XCache.
3. Break your page up into smaller chunks and use AJAX to pull them in all at once
4. Use an HTTP Accelerator like varnish.
5. Cache bits of the page (or the whole page) any other way.
